EXAMPLE:
configset GLOBAL faq_access = open

The faq_access configuration setting is used to restrict access 
to the faq command.  

The following five values are supported:

  open          -  Anyone can use the faq command.

  open+password -  Anyone registered at this domain can use the faq
                   command if a personal password is supplied.

  list          -  Anyone subscribed to a mailing list can use the
                   faq command for that list.

  list+password -  Anyone subscribed to a mailing list can use the
                   faq command for that list if a personal password 
                   is supplied.

  closed        -  Only the list administrators can use the faq command.

This setting can be overridden by rules for the faq command in the 
access_rules configuration setting.

This setting determines who can use the faq command to retrieve
the Frequently Asked Questions document for a list.  The FAQ normally 
resides in a list's private file space, and therefore can also be 
accessed by the get and index commands, but only by list administrators. 

If an FAQ document does not exist for the list, the faq command
will cause a default document to be retrieved from the DEFAULT or 
GLOBAL pseudo-list, or from the stock files supplied by Majordomo.

An administrative password can be used to issue the faq command,
regardless of the value of this setting.

Any rules in the access_rules setting related to the faq command 
will take precedence over the value of this setting.
